Hypoglycemia is low blood glucose level that may negatively affect neurological and developmental prognosis. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Committee on Fetus Newborn defined the safe concentrations in 2011 guideline for newborns at risk hypoglycemia. This study aimed to investigate incidence associated factors hypoglycemia newborn infants having assess compliance with AAP guideline.According hypoglycemia, included this were divided four groups [infant diabetic mother (IDM),...

Cytolytic vaginosis (CV) is a condition characterized by an increase in lactobacilli the vaginal flora, causing complaints of discharge, itching, dyspareunia, and dysuria. Since there are no antimicrobials treatment protocols CV, diagnostic therapeutic criteria which were first defined Cibley, differential diagnosis CV from other vaginitis agents will prevent unnecessary use recurrent com-plaints. In our study, we aimed to determine frequency patients presenting with accuracy criteria....

Abstract Primary ventral hernia (PVH) is a main differential diagnosis of abdominal wall masses and typically occurs at areas structural weakness, such as the linea alba. This report draws attention to atypical PVHs peri-inguinal region, an underdiagnosed subgroup defects located adjacent inguinal canal below semilunar line. The absence standardized definition or classification complicates this infrequent pathology. We present case patient with tender mass, initially interpreted...

Purpose An increased intima-media thickness (IMT) in the carotid arteries is a marker of generalized atherosclerosis, and it has been associated with high risk stroke. The aim this study was to investigate whether patients obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) have an increase atherosclerotic indicators arteries. Methods We studied 30 men severe OSAS who had apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) at least 20. IMT measurement presence stenotic occlusive lesions (right common artery [RCCA], right bulb...

The aim of present study was to evaluate the indications, complications and outcomes acute peritoneal dialysis (APD) in neonates at a referral university hospital during previous 8 years.This retrospective analysis included total 52 newborn infants who underwent APD neonatal intensive care unit between January 2008 March 2016. Demographic, clinical, laboratory microbiological data were extracted from patients' medical files.The primary causes for requiring tubular necrosis (n = 36, 69.2%),...

<i>Background/Aims:</i> We aimed to determine the effects of adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy (AT) on cardiac functions in children with adenoid tonsillary hypertrophy and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) by using echocardiography tissue Doppler imaging facility (TDI). <i>Methods:</i> Twenty-nine OSAS 26 primary snoring entered study. Cardiac were assessed TDI both groups. Tests repeated group 6 months after treatment AT. <i>Results:</i>...

The aim of present study was to evaluate the indications and complications associated with neonatal exchange transfusion (ET) performed for hyperbilirubinemia.This included overall 306 neonates who underwent ET between 2005 2012. demographic characteristics patients, causes jaundice adverse events occurred during or within 1 week after were recorded from their medical files. Those newborns that classified as either "otherwise healthy" "sick" group.Of patients ET, 244 otherwise healthy had no...

Inflammation is the most important mechanism of plaque disruption playing an essential role in acute coronary syndromes. It controversial whether inflammatory mediators are cause or result development rupture. Stimulation interleukins increases adhesion molecules, fibrinogen and plasminogen activator inhibitors,which activation inflammation thrombosis. However, importance syndromes has not been clearly defined. We did find any article concerning relations between levels serum...

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is considered as a variant of atherosclerosis. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are among the sensitive markers systemic inflammation. The aim this study was to evaluate plasma levels cytokines; TNF-alpha IL-6 in CAE patients.Plasma concentrations were measured 36 patients with (28 males, mean age: 58.2 +/- 12 years), results compared age sex-matched controls (n = 32) without coronary ectasia. blood assessed by enzyme-linked...

The present study compared the effects of anesthesia induction with sevoflurane and propofol on hemodynamics, P‐wave dispersion (Pwd), QT interval corrected (QTc) interval. A total 72 adult patients were included in this prospective study. All had control electrocardiograms (ECGs) before induction. Anesthesia was induced inhalation or intravenous propofol. Electrocardiography for all performed during 1 st 3 rd minutes induction, after administration muscle relaxant, at 5 10 intubation. Pwd...

To evaluate the underlying causes and outcomes of neonates who underwent acute peritoneal dialysis (APD).This report describes a 7-year experience with APD in 77 neonates.Underlying requiring were tubular necrosis (ATN; n = 53), inborn error metabolism (n 18), bilateral renal vein thrombosis 3), obstructive uropathy 2; posterior urethral valve neurogenic bladder), artery 1). Fifteen 53 patients developed post-cardiac surgery ATN. The mean duration was 6.2 ± 10.7 days (range 1 to 90 days)....

Objectives: The aim of this age-matched, controlled, prospective clinical study was to investigate frequency and degree erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) evaluate the results only continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on ED OSAS.Materials Methods: A total 90 were evaluated for potential OSAS. They given an International Index Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF) Beck Depression Inventory. Sixty-two diagnosis OSAS regarded as...

The pathogenesis of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis is controversial. Various urodynamic studies showed bladder hyperactivity in enuretic children. But the exact cause not precisely known. aim this study was to understand whether autonomic nervous system dysfunction involved or not. Heart rate variability measurement widely used for evaluation cardiac activity. We evaluated functions children by using 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram. group consisted 32 (20 boys and 12 girls) control 20...

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmias associated with not only increased morbidity after coronary artery bypass grafting but also healthcare costs. Many factors are atrial onset grafting. We prospectively examined which could predict grafting.Fifty-seven consecutive patients (37 men, mean age=60.2+/-12 years) sinus rhythm before included study. Clinical, demographic, laboratory and echocardiographic characteristics all evaluated prospectively. The maximum minimum P-wave...
